SMART goals are a goal-setting framework designed to help educators set clear, actionable, and achievable objectives. The acronym stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound, guiding teachers to create goals that are well-defined and trackable.

Whether you’re just starting to implement SMART goals or scaling them school-wide, this training provides a clear, step-by-step roadmap to create goal-driven classrooms that inspire continuous improvement.
